  1. could someone possibly help me set up my echolink please i am a geocacher as well as a ham and tak emy kenwood d72a with me everytiem i go caching and have the aprs transmitting while i cach next cache trip will be febuary 16 2012 if anyone would like to follow me on my urban cachign trip to seattle washington as well as a trip and tour of Groundspeak headquarters i will begin transmitting at 4:30 am my time and will finish transmitting at 8:30 pm my time would ove to have some followers as i am on my journey

  2. I brought this up with a few lackeys at the block party I think it would be usefull as well as much needed if you could make it so on the app a person could submit new caches to be published or even activate a new trackable at this point if you want to do this you need to open safari and go through the site that way I nelieve it would be much more useful as well as very welcome if this could be done from the app thank you and I really hope this is something others agree on and can be placed in an upcoming version of the app very soon

  3. when I go caching I take along my kenwood d72a in the bottle holder on my backpack sice it has a camelback the bottle holder is unused other than as a radio holder my geobike and backpack are trackable as am I so when encountered I am trackable three different ways the APRS is always active and the gps logger is always running when im not in class

  11. hello i am looking for old broken magellan explorists any model as long as they dont work and also accesories i am wantigng parts so i can repair a few i have around here and accerories are always a nice thing to have as well any help you can give would be greatly appreciated

  12. My magellan color that I got for Christmas broke and magellan sent me a new Explorist 500 LE as a replacement unit. I thought that was extrodinary customer server BTW since it wasn't their fault it was broken and I made that clear to them. Now that I have the 500 I can't use it with my laptop. I need to be able to load the driver for it in NMEA mode for Microsooft Mappoint. When I attempt to load the driver in teh device manager, I point to the drivers directory on the cd, windows reports it found a driver and begins loading it then fails with the error "can not find the file specified" I called magellan and they said there is not a Vista compatible driver available but I thought I had read in the forums here that others have this working. if anyone has been able to get a driver to work for the Explorist 500 under Windows Vista please tell me how you did it. Mappoint is the main reason I got a GPS and I can not use it now.

     

    I checked on Magellan's website and was told to call 1-800-707-9971 to get more info on the status of their Vista updates. I can tell you that I just talked to them and apparently they will have the Vista drivers on their website within the month. They've been working on it for the past 6-7 months but I guess they are confident in the one month timeframe. If you call that 1-800 number they will add you to the email list to advise you when the udpates are available and even call you to help you get them installed. Good luck!

    Hi,

    I have made available from my website a modified driver for the Magellan eXplorist 600 to run under Windows Vista. This is the link to the existing forum on the driver and the direct link to the driver. I don't know if it will work with the 500, but I can't see any reason not to give it a try. The driver for the 600 has been widely downloaded and from all accounts, working seemlessly. If the driver does work for the 500, could you let me know, so that I can update my forum for other 500 users. Hope this helps.
